Tp Assuming that E is the low e on a guitar..., what are the gauges? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk The gauges I had on that were a standard set of D'addario 9's...so they were super light. Not sure if heavier stings would have been better or not. Like I said...it really only has value to make yourself feel like you're doing something while you wait for the stick to arrive. TP |

The C# (normally low E) got a touch floppy, but it did the job. Really , for me, it was just to get an idea of how the chord shaping worked for major, minor, 7ths, etc, on the right hand. TP |

That specific tuning, the one you refer to, is called the Classic tuning, and has been called that for well over a decade on the website. If you are trying to string a guitar to be comparable in pitches to these notes, then you need to take into account that the scale is much shorter, which means that the gauge you would use will be slightly heavier than on a long scale instrument tuned to the same pitch by the nut. I'm sure folks were trying to be helpful when they provided the gauges Emmett recommends for the Stick, they just didn't know the difference between long and short scale. |
